A Small Tale

Our team of ten, friends till the end
Had packed our bags and snacks
And ventured out to lands unknown
For two weeks and now we're back.

When people ask, "How was your trip?"
It's hard to find the words
So many things had happened there
So many cows and birds.

The cows and chickens crossed the road
And dogs roamed wild and free
Dirt roads wove through the middle of town
Green pastures far as the eye could see.

We woke up every morning
to roosters cockadooing
Ate every breakfast as a team
with instant coffee brewing.

The girls would come with smiles
And give their round of hugs
Then at the end of the day as they walked away
They'd say, "I love you very much."

We taught them English, songs and games
And did some arts and crafts
bible studies, presentations,
And lots and lots of laughs

Especially when one night we all
Did zumba and the limbo
Lead by Yuliana
She put on quite a show.

And then Guillermo taught Kung Fu
And Justin made a tire swing
Aimee directed a fabulous play
Kaitlyn and Rob shared testimonies

Daniel taught computer classes
Leah gave important talks
Elias became a famous artist
I led games, we all thought outside the box.

But there was more, so much much more
And all of us worked together
We could do none of it on our own
We needed one another.

And God was there, He always was
Right in the midst of us
Working His plan out every day
While giving us just enough

We left the girls with heavy hearts
Because we grew so close
We became a family
A family God chose.

I find it neat that God's love meets
us all around the world
I saw God's love in Quyquyho
A story to unfold.
